Sir William Vernon Harcourt considered
it pity that when a message of peace was
sent to Ireland the government chose to
infuse into it this drop of bitterness. The
clause in question was designed to make

bill and the government would be wise even
now to remove II.

i done everything they could in equity to pre-
vent eYictiOnS being harsh or cruel. Ii the
clause assisted i'll checking the monstrous
system of intimidation which now prevailed
